松村呉春 Matsumura Goshun (1752-1811) Painter of the middle to late Edo period. Founder of the Shijo School. He first studied painting under 大西酔月 Onishi Suigetsu (?-1772), but after Shizuki's death, he became a student of 与謝蕪村 Yosa Buson (1716-1784) and learned haikai and painting. He left behind powerful portraits and flower-and-bird paintings in the style of Buson, and many excellent haiga as well. After Buson's death, he studied under 円山応挙 Maruyama Okyo (1733-1795) and turned to realistic painting. He created the Shijo School, which is characterized by its elegant painting style and fusion of Nanga and Maruyama schools. His poetic sketching was light and easy to understand, and became the mainstream of the Kyoto art world.
